High Detailed Photorealistic Fire Ant; FULLY RIGGED and ANIMATED, UV mapped and smoothable, made with Maya.


*The hair is polygonal - NO PLUG-IN NEEDED

This model has a clean geometry based on quads and loops. It is RIGGED, ANIMATED and smoothable.
(Ready to render exactly as you see above)

- legs are made with 8 pieces ; each part is parented and pivoted for easy movements.
-mandibles are separate meshes and pivoted.


- 4k High resolution textures (main color textures are .TGA)

3 SSS shaders included (see preview) - easy to get different color variations just tweaking the shaders.

-----------------------
Formats included:

.mb (maya 2011 binary)
.ma (maya 2011 ascii)

-----------------------


The Maya 2011 formats are set with the '3' hotkey for the geometry approximation preview and render.
Maya files come with SSS shaders and are ready to render exactly as you can see in the preview images.

Polycount (quads):

main mesh:9547
hair:21300

total:30847

RIG AND ANIMATION NOTES:
This model is rigged using simple ikHandles and NURBS primitive control objects to help achieve realistic animations of the limbs, joints, and muscles. Control objects can be easily manipulated through the transform tools to achieve desired animations.

2 animation sets have been included in a separate maya file (referenced to the main rig) to make them easier to use:

-walk (loop)- 24 frames
-walk in path(loop)- 130 frames
